City’s Best Divine Doctor
Chapter 497 - 497 0498 Mid Forth Layer of Qi Refinement Realm

497: Chapter 0498: Mid Forth Layer of Qi Refinement Realm 497: Chapter 0498: Mid Forth Layer of Qi Refinement Realm As the attending physician at the Department of Stomatology in Jinling Hospital, Zhang Xiaokang had seen many patients, but most of them were related to dental issues.

It was rare for him to encounter someone like Yun Xiang, who emitted a particularly unpleasant bad breath after removing his mask.

Although the Stomatology department often treated patients with bad breath, none of them were as severe as Yun Xiang’s current condition.

“Young Master Yun, when did this start?”

“Just about an hour and a half ago.”

“Did you eat anything unusual before this?”

“Just the usual foods!”

…

Zhang Xiaokang asked numerous questions before having Yun Xiang open his mouth for an examination to see if he had any decayed teeth.

As soon as Yun Xiang opened his mouth, an even more offensive odor almost knocked Zhang Xiaokang out.

The smell was truly unbearable.

Zhang Xiaokang used a flashlight and a medical wooden stick to carefully examine Yun Xiang’s mouth and found that his teeth were perfectly intact, with no signs of decay.

If the bad breath wasn’t caused by decayed teeth, what on earth could be the reason for Yun Xiang’s sudden halitosis?

Zhang Xiaokang couldn’t figure it out.

He was an oral specialist, but his expertise was limited to dental issues, including treating decayed teeth, cavities, and oral ulcers.

In Yun Xiang’s severe case of bad breath, it could be due to oral health, but it might also be caused by something wrong in another part of his body.

Since Zhang Xiaokang couldn’t find any oral issues, he had no choice but to say, “Young Master Yun, I just finished examining your oral health, and I didn’t find anything wrong.

Given your sudden bad breath, I recommend you undergo a full-body examination.”

A full-body examination?

Zhang Xiaokang was concerned that Yun Xiang might have an issue in another part of his body, which was causing his severe bad breath.

However, the examination department doctors at Jinling Hospital had already gone off duty, so it had to wait until the next day.

Unlike the Stomatology department, which Zhang Xiaokang could handle alone, the examination department required multiple doctors.

Yun Xiang didn’t say much more, allowing Bi Yuntao to handle his admission procedures.

He decided to stay in the hospital for now and refrained from seeing any friends for the time being.

…

When Ye Qiu drove back to Peach Blossom Source Residential Area, Ye Weidong had already gone to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.

Only Chen Fang, Liu Lingxiu, and Ye Xue were at home watching TV.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s return, Chen Fang asked, “Ye Qiu, had anything happened today?”

“Nothing today.”

Until lunchtime, Ye Qiu stayed on the first floor, watching TV with Ye Xue and Liu Lingxiu.

When Chen Fang and Ye Xue went to make lunch, they prepared the food and then went upstairs to rest.

At Jinling Hospital, Yun Xiang had Bi Yuntao arrange a private high-end ward for him.

Yun Xiang stayed in that private high-end ward.

He hadn’t slept well all night, unable to bear the smell of his own bad breath.

What bothered him even more was that the woman he liked and had pursued for so long was kissed by another man on her birthday.

Even more surprising to him was that the young man he looked down on drove a luxury car that was no less than his.

Now, with his inexplicable bad breath, Yun Xiang was even more baffled.

Early the next morning, having slept for less than two hours, he saw Bi Yuntao returning with breakfast and said, “Young Master Yun, don’t worry.

Bad breath is not a serious illness and can definitely be cured.”

Saying so, Bi Yuntao still hesitated to get too close to Yun Xiang.

Under these circumstances, Yun Xiang dared not meet his rowdy friends.

At 8:30 a.m., when the doctors of the examination department of Jinling Hospital arrived, Yun Xiang, accompanied by Bi Yuntao and another, began a full-body examination.

By the time he finished the full-body examination, it was already afternoon.

He then returned to the Stomatology department to consult Zhang Xiaokang again, but Zhang Xiaokang was still at a loss about Yun Xiang’s sudden bad breath.

“Young Master Yun, are you feeling any better?”

As soon as Zhang Xiaokang asked, Yun Xiang didn’t reply, but it was obvious that the foul odor did not subside; it seemed to have worsened.

In the morning, after he had brushed his teeth, there was no difference from before brushing.

Zhang Xiaokang conducted another thorough examination but still found nothing wrong.

He could only await the results from Yun Xiang’s full-body examination to see if there were any bodily abnormalities or issues with his saliva.

…

After lunch, Ye Qiu returned to his room to rest.

At around six in the evening, he was awakened by Liu Lingxiu.

Liu Lingxiu had taken a two-hour nap but couldn’t sleep anymore.

Coming downstairs to watch TV, the Jiangnan Province news reported that the high school exam scores were gradually being released.

By tomorrow morning, students could check their scores via phone, exam websites, and other channels.

Ye Qiu, knowing his results already, didn’t need to check, but Liu Lingxiu was quite eager.

“So, are we going back to Third High School tomorrow to check the scores?”

Liu Lingxiu asked.

“Yes, we’ll go back!”

Returning to Third High School to check the scores and get the high school diploma was necessary, although for Ye Qiu, these certificates held little value.

They were some of the few keepsakes from the former Ye Qiu.

When Chen Fang and Ye Xue finished preparing dinner, Ye Weidong returned home.

During dinner, Ye Weidong said, “Ye Qiu, the renovation at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant is almost done.

How long should it be aired out before officially opening?”

Typically, a newly renovated place contained a lot of harmful gases like methanol, requiring at least two to three months of airing before use.

Some, due to high rental costs of shops or offices, rush to move in right after renovation, affecting staff and customers.

“Dad, once the renovation is done, I’ll go check it out.”

Ye Qiu had visited recently but wasn’t sure if he could absorb the harmful gases himself.

If absorption wasn’t possible, it would need two to three more months, or even six months, before officially opening.

After dinner, Ye Qiu, Chen Fang, Ye Xue, and Liu Lingxiu watched TV downstairs until ten before he headed upstairs to shower and continue practicing the Primordial Five Emperors Technique.

He absorbed moonlight essence, continuously refining it until enough essence entered his meridians and converted to spiritual energy.

Once abundant, it transformed into true qi, stored in his dantian.

With more true qi in his dantian, transforming from quantity to quality, this transformation marked Ye Qiu’s breakthrough in cultivation.

After who knew how long, Ye Qiu opened his eyes, knowing he had just broken through from the early to mid-stage of the fourth layer of the Qi Refining realm.
